"holy moly...you would think usd would run these contracts by an advisor or two????????"
Exactly my point about over reacting......
As far as what happens with Grier only time will tell...things need to get better in the next year or two or we probably will be talking about a new contract for someone else....hopefully the team pulls together and get s a win tonight for de'jon and plays hard the rest of the year...

holy moly means i was a tad surprised.
if you want to sit there and back up everything this staff does then go right ahead.
doesnt change my life one bit.
im part of an organization much larger than usd and one thing i know for sure is when things arent going right in a certain department, the first person to get scrutized is the person running it.
Where have I backed up "everything" the staff does? Just because I don't play the guessing game like many doesn't mean I don't hold people accountable. It seems like the players continue to get a free pass by most here and only the coaches are criticized. I don't know any inside info and I know that almost everyone here doesn't even know the FULL story. So someone talked to a player - big deal. You really think an athlete is going to tell both sides of the story ever. Obviously the coaching staff doesn't openly talk about the inner workings of the team so everyone is simply assuming some rumors are true. Again, I am not saying everything on here is false OR true - we don't know for sure. One poster openly called Grier an "acehole" "phucking hosebag" and "coward" - classy move by our fanbase....I'm getting tired on seeing this type of behavior here. I openly invite USD fans to come to this website but I didn't start it to have to read this type of crap....perhaps someone else should start their own message board as I am wondering if I want to continue a forum for people to write this garbage.
Sure many blame Ginty and Dorr but where are the comments on lack of leadership from BJ and Jackson? It's not like they have done a great job leading the players this season or last. My position is it is easy to criticize one side or the other but it takes two to tango.
I am willing as a fan to give Grier 4-5 years to establish HIS program and then make a personal judgement. Has this coaching staff done everything right? No. Have the players held up their part of the bargin? No. Ultimately once Grier has had time to create a program in his vision that is when he should be judged. The fact USD made the NCAA's his first year might have created the most unrealistic expectations ever. Do I want USD to win - heck ya. But as someone who works in an "organization" as well for MANY years I also understand management of people.
In the end if Grier doesn't get it done within a reasonable amount of time a change should be made but it's like the crews of the Pinta, Nina, and Santa Maria telling Columbus to turn around halfway across the Atlantic ocean on the way to the New World. We are not even three full years into the Grier era...Brad Holland had 13.....at least give Grier 5.....with your logic USD should fire Ky Snyder since he is the man in charge of the entire program and hired Girer...I didn't see anyone complaining his contract was extended. Heck why not fire the USD president and Board of Trustees for bringing Grier here? Let's clean house completely and hold those in senior management positions accountable since as you pointed out we are talking about large sums of money....hopefully my sarcasm is catching on.
It's easy to criticize people when you don't really know what's going on...but it seems that is the society we live in today - its a 24 hour "gotcha" reporting and opinion cycle. After the USF game someone made the comment alluding there was an ulterior motive perhaps to not use Miles in the 2nd half....turns out the kid was sick and actually left the bench during the game and didn't return....additionally if you are part of an "organization" much larger than USD you would probably realize that USD most likely has a legal counsel that reviews most contracts and is ultimately reviewed by the Board of Trustees...to say ""holy moly...you would think usd would run these contracts by an advisor or two????????" - HUH? Anyone who has worked at an "organization" for a long time knows you have to run EVERYTHING through legal counsel when dealing with contracts and human resource issues. Again, you are reacting to an unconfirmed rumor about his contract. This isn't SDSU so to think anyone on this board has a clue to Grier's contract is a joke - unless Grier is posting on this site which I doubt.
I'm all for discussing facts but it seems many have an axe to grind without even knowing if what they are grinding about is even true. If you want to debate something that happened in the game I'm all for it but the guessing game on who and why someone doesn't play is tabloid at best...
I hoped to create a message board that would contain good, fair, factual discussions about USD....maybe I am getting to be an old man and should be yelling for many "to get off my damn lawn"...lol.
I am tired of losing these type of games as a fan but perhaps age and experience has made me less knee jerk in reaction to life....
GO USD!
"youth is wasted on the young......"
really? what is the average age on this board out of curiosity?

if we were really that young we wouldn't give a crap about grier's gigantic contract...and how stuck usd is with it.
anyway, we were having a civilized conversation until you blasted the boards calling us all kids. i forgive you though.
have a good night all...hoping for a better season next time around.
To really think I am Ky Snyder? People actually would think that? If that is the case USD should take back which ever diploma you may have earned....
